Rand slightly leaned his head forward towards X to act like he was investing in the story that was being given. In reality he used this opportunity to relieve his mind of the paranoia as best he could but his attention was focused when the Cherubim mentioned Xing. It was too specific and too hidden of an ability for Rand to truly remember, but it sounded familiar and he could deduce that since it was a forbidden ability it was probably pretty evil. [i]And he'll probably use it on me sooner or later,[/i] Rand figured. When X was finished, all Rand commented was, "I've heard of few Cherubims that were the opposite of what their kind were, how lucky for me to be one's captive."

Carter rolled his eyes. This wasn't exactly what he was expecting. The girl didn't seem too bright in understanding her situation but the demon kept his frustration from surfacing. Carter looked over the key and debated whether he should actually let her out. She couldn't run since the door was locked on both sides and needed a key and she couldn't harm him in any way. Grabbing the key, Carter bent down and unlocked the cage but didn't open it. While unlocking the cage, Carter flicked his eyes up at her and for a brief second his eyes were a dark red, revealing his true eye color. [i]That should make her slightly timid,[/i] he figured. When he was finished, Carter stood back up and stepped back from the cage. "Right, I'm glad were slightly moving ahead. Whenever you speak to me I want you to indicate me as Master Carter from now on. Do you understand? And backtalk me one more time and I promise you will regret it," Carter said sharply.
